| Final Thunderbird comes off Assembly Line |

It was a bittersweet moment last week as the last Thunderbird was driven off the assembly line at Wixom Assembly Plant. “We’re sad to see this car go,” said Larry Fisher, Dealer Relations manager at Wixom Assembly Plant. “But I, along with all the other employees here at the plant, am tremendously proud to have been part of the revival of this icon.” The Thunderbird has come full circle since it was first introduced in 1955. Back then, it was a two-seater designed to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette. In 1958, the T-Bird was reconfigured to seat four people; it remained that way until production ended with the 1997 model year. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn with a retro look that harkened back to the early days of the automotive classic. More than 4 million Thunderbirds have been sold in the last 50 years. The last T-Bird was the 1,160,827th one to roll off the line at Wixom. Fisher said that the Thunderbird will always be a car that touches an emotional chord with people. The car elicits memories of the ‘50s and the movie “American Graffiti,” which featured the classic automobile.
